US coronavirus - California is “pulling an emergency brake” on reopening

California Governor Newsom is slamming on the brakes on the reopening process, shifting almost all of California to the most restrictive tier.

• This is, of course, due to rapidly skyrocketing COVID-19 cases.
• nearly all California counties have been moved backward
• stronger mask mandates introduced, masks must be worn in most cases outside of the house whenever in public (with few exceptions)
• The gov also said he was assessing the "notion of a curfew" for California

As an example, San Francisco will be closing non-essential offices and restricting capacity at gyms to 10%.

Looking ahead, there is potential light at the end of this dank tunnel:

• Moderna reports that coronavirus vaccine found to be 94.5% effective

Its a long tunnel. Wear a mask. Do the right thing in other actions also.
